w IL h KIN eco R -.

below, some advances have recently been
made. A few lines, notably those in which
| the production is largely in excess of the de-
mand. are Irregular. Many manufacturers
are busy on orders, and in certain lines there
is some difficulty in obtaining goods promptly.
The special features of the market are given
below. The drug business continues active,
and collections are somewhat better than
heretofore, although not yet up to the mark
Orders from the far West are now coming IN
freely. The demand for field seed is good,
and for paints. oils, glass, etc., is
large and increasing. The fact that
| railroad rates go up rapidly after
April l has caused our large houses
talnly were never before in St. Paul such inn
mense stocks of goods as now. One drug
house alone has received in this month thus
far over 100000 pounds of freight, with
fifty carloads en- route. Prices on cheap
heavy goods will certainly now advance and
dealers should send in their orders at once
After April the wholesale trade of ST. Paul
should largely and rapidly increase. 1t is
now the commercial capital of the Northwest.
1t will be supreme in this department if the
interstate law works as now anticipated The
minor changes in the drug market this week
are gum opium has advanced 75c per b.
morphine 25c more, balSam copaibia cassia
and camphor are higher. Quinine
is Sc lower Dry goods are firm
and there is an unusually large
last two months rates between ST. Paul and
Chicago have been very low indeed. Never
before have they been so broken up and ut
terry demoralized us during the last two
months. The result is that our dealers have
taken advantage of the cut in rates aud have
stocked up heavily. Never in the history of
st. Paul have our dealers been so loaded with
goods as they now are. There is a good order
demand from all sections tributary to ST.
Paul. and personal buyers have also been in
creaSing each week. Our dealers have caught
many who came here and looked and then
went to Chicago and came back here and
bought literally on their return. Groceries
are in active demand, with prices practically
unchanged. Collections fair. Hardware Is
very active and firm and collections salts
factory. The demand for lumber is increas-
ing as the spring is advancing aud prices are
strengthening up in view of the building that
will soon commence. In other departments
there is nothing special to note.
